1961 Feed Grain Rated A Success
Un dersecretary of Agriculture Charles Murphy reports the October crop outlook shows feed grain prospects improved in September. Corn and grain sorghums production is slightly over 4 billion bushels, down 11 percent from last year. The administration’s 1961 feed grains program saved taxpayers between 500 million and 1 billion dollars by retiring acreage and avoiding storage costs. Critics question the yield assumptions, noting higher per acre production helped justify the cuts.
